after I bring in my things from stores in reusable bags I carry them back out to the car or I forget. If I happen to forget our local large grocery retailer has a large drum to return old plastic bags to recycle.We have composted for years ..theres nothing like good clean dirt you made yourself!

I have successfully developed the habit of remembering to use my reusable shopping bags nearly all of the time! I find them to be very useful and very handy! Re-purpose tip: When your reusable grocery shopping bag is a bit too worn for shopping, use it to as an appliance dust cover! It works great and saves $!

When I forget my bags or don't have enough, I go to Plan B. I collect boxes as I go around the store or from where the store leaves boxes for that reason. By doing this at our local discount grocery store, I have my groceries bagged (boxed) by the time I get to the cashier. All they have to do is check the prices. They love it as much as I do. I can always reuse the boxes.
